The office development is the first phase of the Uxbridge town centre extension element, which will include a hotel, museum, restaurants and shops.

James Stockdale, St Modwen’s development manager, said: “Once we get the go-ahead for this commercial phase of the wider project we will be able to start to deliver the new jobs for the area, both in the long-term and also during the construction phase.

“We are making strong progress on the residential front with many homes already built, and occupied, with more now under construction.
